# CE1

The satellite modulator output option is available for 
news gathering applications making MediaKind CE1 the 
7th generation DSNG platform.

## Contribution Encoder

The CE1 is the latest generation of contribution encoder 
from MediaKind and provides exceptional performance, 
low latency video compression capability, with the 
additional benefits of support for the latest IP standards 
such as UHD SMPTE ST 2110, SRT, RIST and Zixi as well as 
BISS-CA encryption to prevent unauthorized access to 
valuable, high quality contribution feeds.

The CE1 is based on a ruggedized X86 server platform, 
with four PCIE option card slots, giving it great potential 
to support new standards and protocols as they are 
developed and adopted.

## Product Overview

### Multi-Channel Contribution Encoder

The CE1 is a compact, flexible, multi-channel 
contribution encoder capable of addressing a wide 
ange of use cases. It can be configured to meet your 
exact requirements through the simple range of 
hardware and software options, and can be easily 
upgraded in the future as your needs change.

### Encoding flexibility

4:2:0 8 bit MPEG-4 AVC or HEVC encoding can be 
provided using just the CE1 base unit processing power, 
but for UHD and 4:2:2 10 bit support with low latency 
mode the additional processing power required is 
provided by a video encoding option card.

JPEG-XS can be performed on the CE1 base unit without 
the accelerator card. Up to 16 JPEG-XS is possible on the 
G9 Server.

### All IP Workflow

The CE1 supports an IP workflow using SMPTE ST 2110 for 
inputs, and SRT/RIST/Zixi for IP outputs. An optional 25G 
Ethernet NIC is available to enable SMPTE ST 2110 input 
up to UHD resolution.

The CE1’s inclusion of NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 provides the 
connection management for this type of workflow.

### Secure Delivery of High Value Content

With the value of content, particularly high quality, high 
value content such as UHD sports content increasing, it 
remains important to prevent unauthorized access to it. 
The CE1 supports BISS-CA, the latest 128 bit, rotating key, 
content protection standard, as well as the long 
established BISS-1/E encryption.

For outside content providers who need to transmit the 
highest quality live events, high reliability and availability 
is provided by the CE1. MediaKind removes the single 
point of failure by processing the streams in a 1+1 
active/active configuration, unaided by any separate 
management system while maintaining PTS & PCR 
alignment. This results in a standalone automated 
seamless switch, whether a TSoIP, SDI or SMPTE ST 2110 
workflow.

## Unit Features

### Contribution to public cloud

The CE1 base unit is a compact single ‘RU’ unit that is 
only 560 mm deep, thus fitting in standard racks and 
flight cases as well as OB environments.

Dual hot swappable power supplies help provide the 
reliability required when covering premium events.

There are four option card slots which enable a wide 
range of options to be supported so that the unit can 
not only be customized to meet your needs today, but 
can easily have its capabilities expanded in the future if 
required.

The option cards available include:

- SDI Input (4 x SDI ports) with an additional 
  External Sync input
- Dual 25GbE NIC with SMPTE ST 2110 acceleration
- Encoder Accelerator card for 4 x HD or 3 x 1080p 
or 1 x UHD for low latency 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 MPEG-4 
  AVC and HEVC compression
- Dual 10GbE NIC with SFP+
- ASI Input/output (4 ports)
- Satellite Modulator

The CE1 feature licenses include:

- HD (includes SD) and UHD encode licenses 
  containing audio encode and pass-through capabilities
- Advanced Stream Processing that includes 
multiplexing, SRT, RIST and Zixi
- Content Protection that enables BISS-CA encryption
  (BISS-1/E encryption is included as standard)
